News Roundup: L’Oréal’s $4.66 Billion Dollar Bet & Victoria Secret’s Return to Sexy

In this week’s GlowJob News Roundup, Julia and Sasa unpack one of the biggest beauty acquisitions of the year — L’Oréal’s $4.6B purchase of Kering Beauty, which includes Creed, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, and the Gucci license. They break down what this means for mid-size and private-equity-backed brands, why fragrance is booming, and how “toyification” is redefining Gen Z scent marketing.
Your favorite besties also dig into Victoria’s Secret’s “sexy again” rebrand (complete with OG Angels and the former CEO’s Jeffrey Epstein connection scandal) and end with Kim Kardashian’s latest viral stunt — the Skims Bush Thong and the upcoming Skims Beauty line.
From billion-dollar deals to bush underwear, this episode covers the intersection of beauty, business, and chaos — GlowJob style.

The Rise of the Skincare Bro: BroJob with Paul Lawrence Lewis

Men’s skincare is finally having a moment — and Paul is proof. In this episode of GlowJob, Julia and Sasa sit down with Paul, a graphic designer at Jen Atkin’s OUAI who went from eczema struggles to skincare scholar status. 
We dive into how social media, Reddit threads, and ingredient literacy have helped a new generation of men break the “3-in-1” curse. Paul shares his detailed routine, why he swears by The Ordinary and Kiehl’s, and how he learned that “skin is skin” — not masculine or feminine.
From self-tanner myths and TikTok beauty tools to the psychology behind “high-maintenance,” this episode redefines what it means for men to take care of themselves. Because hydrated is the new handsome.
